1. Kai & Devon S.

“Kai and Devon were amazing pet sitters! They took very good care of our dog and communicated well. This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and Kai and Devon were great. They sent pictures as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”


2. Alexandra K.

“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”


3. Hannah F.

“Hannah was amazing. Our Gertie was so happy!!! We definitely recommend Hannah and will be rebooking soon!! Thank you!!!”


4. Gillian D.
“Gillian has been an excellent dog-sitter for our small chihuahua mix, despite his temperamental nature. She’s proven reliable and dependable, and cares about the wellbeing of the animals she cares for. I would feel completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care, without concern. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable pet walker or sitter”


5. Roxanne P.

“Roxanne is very reliable and took excellent care of Pua while we were away on vacation. Having her staying in the house gave us peace of mind because it was comforting to Pua, we knew meals and meds were administered as prescribed, and also helpful for us to have someone keeping an eye on our home. We loved receiving photos and video of Pua every day from Roxanne. We could relax, knowing that Pua and Roxanne were bonding and keeping to her normal schedule.”


6. Wojciech J.

“Wayne did an excellent job caring for our two dogs! Our girl is a little challenging and he handled her without issues. Our home was clean and respected and our mail inside. I hope to have Wayne watch our dogs again!”


7. William B.

“Bill was friendly and very responsible. He clearly understood the needs of our very old dog. After staying in our house for 10 days, he left it near and tidy. I hope he'll be available next time we go away!”


8. Zoe I.


“Zoe was an incredible sitter! I was, admittedly, nervous about leaving my pup for a long weekend with someone other than a friend/family member - but from our Meet and Greet, through the entire 4 day stay, Zoe put me at ease. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, and sent me detailed daily updates with photos that let me know Abita was being well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and will absolutely use her again!”


9. Angela D.

“All I can say is thank you! Angela came in and saved us last minute when we were in need of a sitter for our little man. This would have been our second time ever leaving him alone with someone else and we’re scared. However, Angela took care of him as if he was her own. Don’t second guess it and definitely get her assistance! Thank you so much Angela!!”


10. Alexis C.
“I travel frequently, and Alexis has been my savior many times when it comes to dog-sitting. My dog absolutely adored her, and when I'd return from trips, he get pouty because he realized that when I was around, he wasn't going to get his daily dog walks with Lexi. When my dog passed away, she even painted a picture of him for me. If you need a reliable pet-lover, Lexi is the best. The only risk is that your pet might like her more than it likes you.”


11. Madisyn K.


“Maddi did a housesit for me and wase very patient, thoughtful, and communicative about Roshini who is shy and cautious at first. Maddi is also very clean and considerate and consistently arrived early!”




12. Marisol G.


“Marisol is fantastic. Had a trip out of town for a night & she sent pictures of my two dogs keeping me in the loop with communication. Have a vacation coming up in the future and I’m utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”




13. Kieran P.

“Kieran was great with our pups! He wen took the time to do a meet and greet and pop in for a couple more quick visits to put our dogs at ease with a new person around. He treated them as if they were his own. This crew can be overwhelming with it being 4 large dogs with high energy and very different personalities, but Kieran did not seem intimidated by the group and enjoyed their company. We received lots of updates and photos. This was our first time using a overnight sitter and they seemed much happier and relaxed when coming home than they have when being boarded. We will be being Kieran again.”


14. David O.
“David is extremely reliable and takes such great care of pets! He is responsible, timely, and trustworthy. I highly recommend David to be a pet caregiver - you will be in great hands.”


15. Catherine O.

“Catherine was very professional and reliable with communication . She handled a difficult situation around Lucy's health very well . She seemed to connect well with my pet and provided her with attention .”


16. Victoria C.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets, lizards, guinea pigs and I wish I could have more! I am truly an animal lover! I have always taken the upmost care of my animals needs - they are family members to me. I currently have one cat and I live with a family member so my own animals needs are not an issue. I have always groomed my animals as well. I have not done much hair clipping, but have taken my shot at it. I can bath, clean ears, clean eyes (stain treatment), trim nails, brush teeth & brush (after a deshedding treatment a backyard/porch would be best). I have taken care of elderly dogs and cats that are on special diets and medications. So, I am very good with just about any type of administration of meds/any diet requirements - even the blind! I’ve also nursed dogs found on the streets back to health which was a very rewarding experience! Feel free to ask! I am comfortable with aggressive dogs. I have worked with aggression before and am able to deescalate almost any situation. I have also trained all my dogs myself. Last cool thing about me - I have a vet in my family! I’ve always trusted him to guide me in the right direction if I need some help. It’s imperative to always get a professional opinion, but I’ll always ask for your vets info first! Lastly, I will always ask for a meet and greet before taking a job! I would like to meet your fur babies and you also - we can chat more about habits, challenges, routines, likes, dislikes ect. (If you’re more than 30 mins away from my location - 20$ for a meet and greet, sorry gas!) I look forward to hearing from you - hopefully I can make this a simple process for you! I work from home so I am with my cat almost all the time, but I do live with family so finding someone to help me is easy if your fur babies need me! I live in an apartment and have no dogs at the moment, but I have trained my cat to walk on a leash and I usually only take her to quiet places - living in Norristown your bound to hear a beep or too which would scare my kitty! When I had dogs though one would walk freely, but I still keep the leash on for safety purposes and my other walked on a harness. I am comfortable with walking a dog on any type of collar and most harnesses as well. Can take dogs out every 2-4 hours if needed. (Only if staying in home) If not staying in home only able to do walks and drop in during the evenings on the weekdays. Any and all animals will be met with patience in leaps and bounds sprinkled with love!


17. Jennifer W.
“I would highly recommend Jennifer to care for anyone's pet. Not only is she dependable, she is incredibly caring and has a great love of animals. She rescued her Dog "Toby" in Alabama and has provided a wonderful home and life for her pet. She is a wonderful person that you can trust with your pet!!”


18. Joanna C.

“This is the 2nd time Joanna has stayed with our dog for over a week while on vacation! She loves on and takes care of our dog like she were her own! I highly recommend entrusting your pets to Joanna- she is a gem and we love her! <3”


19. Kelly C.
“Kelly is amazing with my 3 dogs. She is very attentive with them! I never have to remind her to walk or feed them. I can leave a not worry about them. She’s amazing! Maureen G”


20. Stephanie P.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs for my whole life. I love all animals and I take watch over them with great care. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, etc I work part time, but I am very flexible. I can work Monday through Sunday no problem, but I just need a heads up ahead of time to fit it into my busy schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a westie of my own. I am the main care taker of my dog and the main dog walker as well. I love walking my dog on nice trails.
